I think the next VRX should be dubbed "Fats Waller Night" :).

My job as a DJ is to play swing music for swing dancers. I can then attempt to keep the floor packed through the music I play. First and foremost though is to play swing music for swing dancing. That is my definition of my job as a DJ.

I have a list of about 100+ artists that I want to add to my collection or still need to add, and that list just continues to grow.

There are a few things that I really want though, Mary's Idea and anything by Fletcher Henderson.

I found this on the University of Washington's site. It's a free online course that's based on their History of Jazz course. It's not as complete as the course, but it's still great for some information, I'm going to actually read up on everything that's there tomorrow.

In Canada, it's legal to download music, but it's illegal to upload it without written consent and all that other legal mumbo jumbo. So technically by Canadian law I'm allowed to download whatever I want and not fear prosecution, though I don't know the full extent of the law.

My first Exchange experience was at the Vancouver Exchange this past summer, and it was pretty good. I cleared the floor a couple times, but I knew the songs I selected would do so for the event and people didn't have any problem with it because it didn't happen on a regular basis. So don't be afrai...

I've got it and it's pretty decent. I may play a song off of it for you tomorrow night. I finally gave it a good listen to yesterday actually, it's not too bad at all.

Like it's been alluded to already, you really need to know your book, because if you do, you can keep the floor packed no matter what it is you truly enjoy playing. It's possible to keep the floor packed with a large set of vintage. I just DJed in Vancouver on Saturday and played the stuff I really ...

When I have money I love going hunting for cds, it's great fun. However, this semester I'm ultra-broke and have been looking forward to hunting around at the libraries. I did some searching online for what the local libraries had and I'm looking forward to getting some stuff from there. Like Joel, I...

Tower Records has full cd clips. Some cds don't have music clips though, but it's what I've been using and it's done the job for me.
